Someone rang the bell.
Too late for someone to come.
I put down my book.
I wonder who came.
Because that’s not the time
Hapiness usually chooses to come over.
My heart skipped a beat.
Paid a silent prayer.
May Allah not destroy,
This sand castle I live in.
May not someone come
And tell me that things are no more
The way the used to be.
I made to the door
Scrutinized in the dark.
No one stands out side.
Some children made a joke.
But my heart keeps wondering
What if, the next time, it is not a joke ?
